City of the Dead is a 1960 film directed by John Llewellyn Moxey and starring Christopher Lee and Valentine Dyall. It was released in the United States under the title Horror Hotel.

Production began on 12 October 1959 at Shepperton Studios with a budget of $45,000. Milton Subotsky was an uncredited producer of the film, leading some to consider this the first unofficial Amicus Productions film. Officially, it was produced by Vulcan Productions.

On the recommendation of her professor, a young female student travels to a small Massachusetts town to do some research into witchcraft. She finds the town occupied by the reincarnation of an infamous witch burned at the stake in the 17th century.
